Yesterday, we started our Montessori-inspired activities for Music. This is in preparation for our Montessori Music post this coming Friday, the 17th of July for 12 Months of Montessori Series.
Now, I just wanted to highlight this activity, of sorting musical instruments. There are lots of instruments out there, but I think it is important for the child to identify the groups or families of these instruments to understand how they work.
The Helpful Garden has this amazing file of musical instruments! It was created as a Montessori 3-part cards, but in our activity, we sorted them out according to their categories. So I started off by presenting the instruments to Mavi and how these instruments make sounds. (We also watched videos on how these instruments are being used)

Natural Resources and their Products
Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Another extension to our continent unity study is learning about the natural resources that are mined or abundant in certain parts of the world. This is a new topic that I introduced to Mavi and he definitely loved it. He was very interested in learning about the products of each continent, what they look like as raw materials and how these materials are processed so the people can use them.
